  • Jared Fogle, Former Subway Spokesman, Assaulted in Prison

    Jared Fogle, the former Subway spokesman who is imprisoned on child sex charges, was assaulted by a fellow inmate at the Englewood Correctional Institute in Littleton, Colorado.

    TMZ reports that an inmate named Steven Nigg pushed Jared Fogle down while outside in the recreation yard, then punched him several times in the face. Nigg allegedly has big issues with people who sexually molest children.

    Nigg is in prison on a weapon’s charge. He left Jared Fogle with several injuries including a bloody nose, scratches on his neck, and a swollen face. Steven Nigg was put in solitary confinement as a result of the attack.

    TMZ spoke to Steven Nigg’s family, and asked them why they thought he attacked Jared Fogle. They were told that Nigg hates the fact that so many child sex predators are incarcerated at the low security facility.

    Jared Fogle is serving a 16-year sentence.

  • Jared Fogle, Former Subway Spokesman, Convicted to 15 1/2 Years for Child Sex Charges

    Jared Fogle, the former Subway spokesperson who pleaded guilty to child pornography and sex charges, was sentenced on Thursday to 15 and a half years in prison.

    It was this past August when Jared Fogle agreed to a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to charges of “child pornography and illicit paid sex with minors.”

    Fogle became famous when he lost a huge amount of weight from eating Subway sandwiches. The company then hired him on as their paid spokesperson.

    As part of his agreement, Jared Fogle must avoid pornography and get treatment for his sexual disorders. He will forever be listed as a sex offender. U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt also sentenced Jared Fogle to a lifetime of supervision and a $175,000 fine.

    “The defendant was obsessed with child pornography and sex with minors,” Pratt said.

    Jared Fogle was remanded to the custody of a U.S. Marshall. The judge recommend he go to a federal prison in Littleton, Colorado.

    Dr. John Bradford is a forensic psychiatrist who testified on Jared Fogle’s behalf. He claimed Fogle was attracted to older teen girls, 16 or 17 years of age.

    Prosecutors reminded him–and the court–that Jared Fogle said via a text message that he wanted prosititues, “the younger, the better.”

    Bradford also said Jared Fogle has an alcohol problem, and had a compulsive eating disorder that moved into “hypersexuality” after he lost weight.

    “He traded a horrible food addiction for a horrible sex addiction,” said defense attorney Jeremy Margolis.

    Lots of people give up food addictions, but they don’t prey on underage girls for sex. Jared Fogle is clearly a sexual deviant. He will soon live a much different life that that to which he is accustomed–locked up in prison.

    Katie Fogle: Jared Fogle’s Wife Files for Divorce Following Child Sex Charges

    Katie Fogle, the wife of former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, announced on Wednesday she filed for divorce from her husband.

    On the same day Jared Fogle agreed to plead guilty to charges that he traveled across state lines to have sex with minors as well as possessed and distributed child pornography, Katie Fogle issued a statement to the press.

    “Obviously, I am extremely shocked and disappointed by the recent developments involving Jared. I am in the process of seeking a dissolution of the marriage. My focus is exclusively on the well-being of my children. Neither I nor my family will have any further comment on the matter. I appreciate respect for my family’s privacy during this difficult time.”

    Jared and Katie Fogle are the parents of two girls. Since he will soon face up to 12 1/2 years in prison, she will get full custody of their children. As part of Jared Fogle’s plea deal, he will only be allowed supervised visitation once he is freed from prison–and only if Katie Fogle agrees.

    It’s uncertain if Katie Fogle was there when Jared Fogle’s Zionsville, Indiana home was raided back in July by authorities who removed both computers and video tapes.

    Jared Fogle became famous after losing lots of weighted–claiming Subway sandwiches were the basis of the loss. He went to work for the company as their spokesperson shortly thereafter.

    Katie Fogle is no doubt livid–as well as humiliated–about her soon-to-be ex-husband’s heinous actions.
